James' First Day of School

James had his first day of school last Wednesday. James was SO ready to go back to school, especially since Brianna had started three weeks before him! He kept asking when he gets to go to school! When we learned that James would have Mrs Reyes for his teacher and NOT one of his three close friends would be in his class I decided I should prepare him for a couple weeks that he may not have the same teacher and his friends may not be in his class but he will make new friends! He didn't like the idea of this and told us a few times he didn't want to go to school! The night before school started the parents had orientation and meet the teacher and when I learned which classroom Mrs. Reyes was I told James it was the class right next to Mrs. Wedekind. He used to LOVE to go in her room to play. He was so excited! And there is a boy he knows through another friend at school and they were also in summer camp together, so when I told him Owen was in his class he couldn't believe it!  
Here he is, ready to go! 
Waiting in the "hug line"...
Finding his classroom...
The first day they only go to school for an hour and a half just so the kids get to meet their teacher and the kids in the class. It is nice for a little introduction! That is his teacher in the background.
James only knew the boy next to him, Owen. They got to playing trains right away!
After school we went and found Brendan in his class and James played with him for a bit. Brendan's teacher invited James right in because she was an aid in their class last year! She was happy to see James! 
The second day of school! A full day and taking his lunch to school! 
James had a great first week of school! He loves his teacher and is making new friends! He also gets to see his other friends out on the playground!
